#1 The ROK is now "justified" to dev andor acquire its own NucWeaps iff it so chooses.

"Time is of the essence", as once Seoul makes a formal decision to select the nuclear option it will likely see China weirdly-n-mysteriously escalate its dispute wid Japan oer the Senkakus + SCS [China = SSSHHHH...CCCC TAIWAN].

CHINA IS N-O-T GOING TO BE A HAPPY CAMPER IFF BOTH THE DPRK + ROK [Nippon? ASEAN?]GO WEAPONS NUKULAAR, WID NO TAIWAN + NO MAJOR OVERSEAS PLA MILBASES IN ASIA-PACIFIC FOR "POST-US", "FUTURE WORLD#1" CHINA.

* Once again, DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS >
[AsiaSociety.org] MABUHANI: CHINA NOT PREPARED TO BE THE WORLD'S NO.1, US NOT READY TO BE THE WORLD'S NO.2.

Truth be told, iff the anti-US Leftists-Globalists + Aligned get their way, THE US WON'T EVEN BE A WORLD "NO.2" - AS PER DIVERSIFIED,
"MULTI-POLAR" ANTI-US OWG-NWO + NAU 2015 + TRANS/INTERIM, THE PRESENTLY "SOLE" SOVEREIGN US SUPEPOWER WILL JUST BE ONE WORLD NATION AMONG MANY, AT BEST ONE WORLD LEADER OR POWER AMONG MANY WORLD LEADERS OR POWERS. THE US MAY NOT EVEN BE A GLOBAL SUPERPOWER ANYMORE???

The OWG/GG + NAU + any Trans/Interim will have the Power-N-Authority, NOT Washington DC.

The US may or will just be an "Indian", NOT anymore a "Chief" or "High/Great/King Chief"???

As per MSM-Net Artics about FEMA + US DHS mysteriously purchasing massive quantities of Ammo rounds, allegedly for use agz Americans = AMerikans inside America = Amerika, the DemoLeft must surely know its NOT illegal in US Law = Fed Regulations for one Fed Agency to purchase or procure items or assets for another, espec when one Fed Agency's normal funding, etc. for same is reduced, consolidated, or eliminated. IFF ONE BELIEVES THE HYPE, ONE MUST LOOK ELSEWHERE TO SEE OR COMPREHEND THE UNSETTLINGLY OR
DISTURBING "BIGGER PICTURE".
